The present study was aimed to correlate the microstructure and the hardness as well as the wear resistance of the metal-ceramic particulated composite layer on the pure Al plate. The composite layers were constructed by the addition of TiC particles on the surface of Al-Cu alloyed layers by PTA overlaying process. Initially, the Al-Cu alloyed layers were achieved by the deposition of Al-(25 ~ 48%) Cu alloys on the pure Al plate by TIG process. It was revealed that TiC particles were uniformly dispersed without any reaction with matrix in the composite layer. The volume fraction of TiC particles (TiC V F) increased from 12% to 55% with increasing the number of pass of composite layer. Hardnesses of (Al-48%Cu + TiC (3&4layers)) composite layer were Hv450 and Hv560, respectively, due to the increase of TiC V/F. Hardnesses of (Al-Cu + TiC) composite layers decreased gradually with insreasing temperature from 100$^{circ}$C to 400$^{circ}$C, and hardnesses at 400$^{circ}$C were then reached to 1/5 - 1/10 of room temperature hardness depending on the construction of composite layers. The Specific wear of (Al + Tic) layer and Al-48%Cu alloyed layer decreased to 1/10 of the of pure Al, while the specific wear of (Al-48%Cu + TiC (4 layers)) composite layer exhibited 1/15 of that of steel such as SS400 and STS304.
